Congratulations to FCS Director Sheina Lew-Levy for being awarded a 2024 Philip Leverhulme Prize!
@MKFlugge @AjaLMurray @CManningPhD @mmuthukrishna @sheinalew
Excited to share that I've been awarded an @ERC_Research Starting Grant! Our team will be investigating how children's independent peer cultures evolve, and what they contribute to community adaptation.
Our new paper on the composition of hunter-gatherer caregivers are out! Children and unrelated people together contribute the most! cambridge.org/core/journals/…
📣 PUBLISHED 📣 “Hunter–Gatherer children's close-proximity networks: Similarities and differences with cooperative and communal breeding systems” in @Journal_EHS by Nikhil Chaudhary et al. 👉 Read more here: arch.cam.ac.uk/news/hunter-ga… 📸 Rodolph Schlaepfer and Sylvain Viguier
Join in for my talk on hunter-gatherer childhoods and global perspectives on child development next Tuesday as part of @radicalanthro seminars. Free on Zoom or in person @UCLanthropology
Next Tues Feb 6, 6:30pm we welcome @DenizSalali on 'Raising Tomorrow: BaYaka Hunter-Gatherer Childhoods and Global Perspectives on Child Development' FREE, LIVE @UCLAnthropology and on ZOOM radicalanthropologygroup.org #huntergatherers #BaYaka #childcare #sociallearning
New book cover: one of my favorite photos from Arthur Wolf’s fieldnotes archive. It expresses central themes of my book: mutual gaze between kids and the anthropologist/photographer; children playing by themselves, without adult supervision, and in a somewhat forbidden place.

🚨📜 Our new paper is out! @jadasenka, @DudaRomain, Ghislain Loubelo, Jerome Lewis & I examine the harms and benefits of a school system designed for BaYaka children. liverpooluniversitypress.co.uk/doi/10.3828/hg… (English) liverpooluniversitypress.co.uk/doi/10.3828/hg… (French) youtube.com/watch?v=aB8VH0… (by @DudaRomain)
Cooperation and partner choice among Agta hunter-gatherer children: "Children preferentially shared with close kin (especially siblings), although older children increasingly shared with less-related individuals." dx.plos.org/10.1371/journa…
🧵 At @ISHGR5, we're discussing unequal and extractive research practices within hunter-gatherer studies. As a step (of many) towards correcting course, the journal Hunter-Gatherer Research is launching the Community Companion Initiative. Sign up here: forms.gle/1T2fDPjhYFYsfz…
Friends, I'm really thrilled that we have published this review paper on peer learning, with implications for cultural evolution. One of our coolest findings is that peer learning is pervasive, even in societies with strong norms for vertical transmission srcd.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.11…
📢📢We're very pleased to announce our 2023 New Investigator Award goes to the fantastic @sheinalew! Watch out for her at @ehbea2023 and in the meantime check out her impressive work on social learning among forager children here: sites.google.com/view/sheinalew… 👏👏👏
I'm truly thrilled that our (@Marc_M_Andersen @ARCHAEOfelix, others) work is finally ready to share! Over the past few years, we've been building this gorgeous database of kids play objects from around the world! play-object-play.au.dk/?page=1
📢📢 Brief peek out of maternity leave to promote a new paper which explores diversity in childcare networks in the Agta royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/rs… Part of a wonderful social issue on women's cooperation in #PhilTransB edited by @sfox12 @jbsilk1 @bascelza and Karen Kramer
Really thrilled that our paper on hunter-gatherer kids' toys and tools is out! This is a sneak peak at a bigger project we are just about to launch. Stay tuned! @ForagerChildren
